You know, I have several cats, two of whom are almost 13 years old, three who are around 9-10 years old, a FeLV positive 5 year old, and two who are younger....... I have prepared my self (as much as one can) for the inevitable loss of my two oldest sooner rather than later, and I know that Tiger, the FeLV baby, can take a turn for the worse and be gone in a very short time...BUT
This morning I got up to find Gizmo asleep in the very same place I'd left him last night.....but he wasn't asleep......he had passed away sometime in the night!:-(
I've cried until I can't see straight, and my head hurts almost as badly as my heart right now, I just wasn't expecting this, and had forgotten how badly a sudden loss hurts.
( For those of you who don't know Gizmo, I have a friend in TN who found him injured and abandoned as a tiny baby in June of 2004, she rescued him and saved his life, but they couldn't keep him, so her then 13 year old son told her to call me, that he knew we would take care of him, and he could come visit him sometimes too.........so now I have to tell a very sensitive 16 year old boy that I failed him too....sigh!)
RIP, Giz, my sweet little grey and white talking kitty.....find Little Bit on the other side of the Bridge and have her to show you around.
